Market Overview:

Dental floss is a crucial tool for interdental cleaning, composed of thin filaments made from materials such as nylon or Teflon. It aids in the removal of plaque, bacteria films, and food particles that accumulate between teeth, areas that toothbrushes may not reach effectively.

Dental floss can come in various forms, including waxed or unwaxed, and in ribbon, string, flat, or curved variants. Regular flossing helps prevent dental issues such as tooth decay, cavities, gum disease, bad breath, and oral cancer.

Market Trends and Drivers:

Several factors are contributing to the growth of the dental floss market:

Rising Oral Health Awareness: The increasing prevalence of oral and dental disorders worldwide has led to a greater focus on maintaining oral hygiene. This has driven demand for oral care products, including dental floss.
Introduction of Floss Picks: Floss picks, which are easier to use and maneuver, particularly for individuals with arthritis or dexterity issues, have gained popularity and boosted market growth.
Consumption of Junk Food: Adolescents and adults consuming excessive junk food and sugary snacks and beverages are more prone to plaque and dental cavities, increasing the demand for dental floss.
Waxed Dental Floss: The use of waxed dental floss, containing essential oils and enzymes for effective plaque removal and easy cleaning, has positively impacted market growth.
Marketing and Product Availability: Promotional campaigns by renowned oral care brands, the ease of purchasing dental floss on e-commerce platforms, and the introduction of flavored dental floss have further driven market expansion.
